Nagsisisi akong pumayag pa ako sa mga trip ng mga kaklase namin. This is a shitty thing to do. Me? The Holly Mild? Wearing this freaking maid outfit? I never thought it would ever happen in this lifetime. Fuck.

Kung ako nagsisisi, si Maddie naman mukhang konti na lang papatay na ng tao. She looks cute though. Kaya nga kinunan ko siya ng litrato kanina.

Sweet also wore a maid outfit by the way. Actually, halos lahat ng babae sa klase nagsusuot ng maid outfit. Pero wala silang planong tulungan kami ni Maddie mag-accommodate ng mga customers. Ang kakapal ng mukha.

Mary texted me na nasa labas na raw silang lahat. Maddie also asked permission na susunduin niya raw sina Katherine at Keirah sa baba. Pumayag na lang ako.

Binilisan ko ang pagsi-serve ng mga customers. Nakita ko nang pumasok ang mga kaibigan ko kasama sina Katherine, which of course caused a lot of people to gasp seeing the angel of Almerry in the flesh.

Because of a celebrity coming in, gumalaw ang ilang mga kaklase namin. Maybe also because they want to show off. Sad to say, nasa akin ang mga order slips. They can't take their orders.

Hinati namin ni Maddie ang trabaho. I would play the waiter and hostess. Tapos siya naman ang magsi-serve ng orders nila. Tapos mamaya palit naman kami. 

Because of the news that Katherine actually materialized in this godforsaken school, lalong dumami ang customers namin dahil sa kanya. Which is both a benefit and a problem. A benefit because we can earn. A problem because we don't have enough manpower to accommodate the surge of customers.

I made the decision to serve the celebrity first. Mukha namang andito lang ang lahat para makita si Katherine at mga lalaking kaibigan ko. In short, gusto lang nila ng artista at gwapo.

After that, they could fuck off and follow them around if they want.

They were talking about some things. Mostly, Gabe's matchmaking service and his newest clients, our dear friend, Vander, and the angel.

"Whatever your discussion is, tapusin niyo na. We have a lot of customers," sabi ko.

Their heads immediately turned to my beautiful face. Their faces were painted with both shock and amusement the moment they laid eyes on my outfit.

"You look good, Hol," Fred commented.

"Yeah," agreed Gabe. "You should wear things like once in a while."

I scowled at him. "I'm gonna slap with this clipboard if you don't stop," I warned him. Nagtaas naman siya ng kamay. I cleared my throat to maintain my cool. "Anyway, we offer tea, coffee, juice, cupcakes, and pies."

"Pie sakin, Hol," sabi ni Mary. "Tapos juice. Orange."

Sinulat ko naman iyon sa order slip. Nakikita ko sa gilid ng mata ko ang serysosong tingin sa akin ni Katherine. My gosh. Parang masayang mapansin niya. Is this what they felt when she has your attention? Like you'd feel you are not trying to fangirl scream?

I cleared my throat. "You?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"I'll take cupcakes and tea, please," she smiled. God should've held himself back when he made her. She would put all those beautiful women in history to shame. No offense.

Kinuha ko na rin ang orders ng iba. I mean, I could list what they were going to order without asking them. From those choices, alam ko na anu-ano ang pipiliin nila.

Binigay ko sa cook ang orders nila tapos balik na naman ako sa ibang customers. Tinatanong nila ako kung ayos lang bang magpapicture kay Katherine. Sinabi ko lang na hindi kasali 'yun sa services namin.
